Cilantro -comments for Greg - long post on a wet morning

[Guest guest]

Dear Greg,

Intersting posts regarding Cilantro. Yes, I regularly use it in

Curries (called Dharnia where I hail from) and I use it in a Paste.

The contents of a typical curry powder are very interesting. I do

not mean the commercial brands that you find in the States. But, if you

follow the Indian methods of Curry making with the traditional herbs and

buy your curry poder from an Oriental or Indian shop, you have the best

herbs to detox and build up the body.

Cayenne

Turmeric

Cilantro

Cumin Seeds

Coconut Milk

Fennel

Fennugreek Seeds

Ginger

Coriander......

If you check up on these herbs you will find they are extremely

beneficial to the body. And, of course, the Indians use FRESH herbs

whenever possible.....

I have done the Schultze cleanse and in fact, am on another one ,

as we speak, as I had to eat a lot of frot food whilst on a 2 month trip

to Colorado.

i will follow the cleanses with a heavy metal cleanse using Cilantro

which I got from the following article.

This may have already been posted - forgive me if it has - (the

recipe is at the bottom so you can scroll down if you just want that).

I have no way of verifying if heavy metals did, indeed, come out

when I used this. All I can say is that the one time that I TRIPLED the

dosage (yeah - I know - follow the instructions....I'm blonde ....so

have an excuse to deviate for experimentation grin..).............

I ended up with huge boils on my derriere - and this was AFTER a

Schultze cleanse -...my only conclusion was that my body was in the

" detox " mode and was shoving whatever out in any way it could.

I don't normally get boils....

I will let you know what happens this time after I finish the

cleanses and then do the Cilantro Paste Heavy Metal Cleanse.

Just as a matter of note - we do have regular curries with cilantro

and I grow it and put it in my herb sauces and salads........Love Penny

(struggling a bit with your highly technical posts but enjoying

searching through the dictionaries and finding holes in my data....grin)

Title: The Poor Man's Chelation Therapy

 

There's nothing I like more than learning about inexpensive, common

herbs or spices that exhibit unusual healing properties. Historically,

the use of herbs and spices in cooking evolved as a method to preserve

foods and make them safer to store and eat. While we've grown accustomed

 

to using these items to enhanced or accentuate flavors of food,

researchers continue to discover that they have much more to offer than

just good taste. A recent example involves the work of Dr. Yoshiaki

Omura. Dr. Omura recently informed us that he discovered almost by

accident, that the leaves of the coriander plant can accelerate the

excretion of mercury, lead and aluminum from the body. He had been

treating several patients for an eye infection called trachoma (granular

 

conjunctivitis), which is caused by the micro-organism Chlamydia

trachomatis. Following the standard treatment with antibiotics. Dr.

Omura found that the patients' symptoms would clear up initially, then

recur within a few month. He experienced similar difficulties in

treating viral related problems like Herpes Simplex types I & II and

Cytomegalovirus infection.

Cilantro Helps Flush Out Heavy Metals

After taking a closer look, Dr. Omura found those organisms seemed to

hide and flourish in area of the body where there were concentrations of

 

heavy metals like mercury, lead and aluminum. Somehow the organicism

were able to use the toxic metals to protect themselves from the

antibiotics. It just so happens that while he was testing for those

metals, Dr. Omura noticed the mercury level in the urine increased after

 

one consumed a healthy serving of Vietnamese soup. The soup contains

Chinese parsley, or it is better known in this country, cilantro. (Some

of you may also know it as coriander, since it comes form the leaves of

the coriander plant.) Further testing revealed that eating cilantro

also increased urinary excretion of lead and aluminum. And when cilantro

 

was used concurrently with antibiotics or natural anti-viral agents and/

 

or fatty acids like EPA with D.A., the above infection could be

eliminated for good. (Acupnct Electrother Res. 95:20 (3-4): 195-229.)

Dr. Omura has made a remarkable discovery. He's found a novel technique

which greatly increases our ability to clear up recurring infections

both viral and bacterial. And perhaps more exciting, he's discovered an

inexpensive, easy way to remove (or " chelate " ) toxic metals from the

nervous system and body tissue - one that anybody can use. This is

Great News for Amalgam Sufferers Chelation therapy using chemicals like

EDTA has long been used to help remove these heavy metals, but cilantro

is the only natural substance I'M aware of that has demonstrated this

ability. This will become news for people suffering from the ill effect

of amalgam dental fillings, which contains approximately 50% mercury.

Dr. Omura recently performed another study in which three amalgam

filling where removed from an individual using all of the precautions

available to prevent absorption of the mercury from the amalgam. Even

with strong air and water suction, water rinses, and a rubber dental

dam, significant amounts of mercury were later found in the individual's

 

lungs, kidneys,, endocrine organs, liver and heart. There was no mercury

 

in these tissue prior to the amalgam removal. Remarkably, without the

help of any chelation agents, cilantro was able to remove the mercury in

 

two to three weeks. (Acupuncture Electrotherapeutic Research 96;21 (2):

133-60.) Since some of the patients didn't like the taste of fresh

cilantro, Dr. Omura had a pharmaceutical company create a 100 mg

cilantro tablet. In

the above dental study, one tablet was taken four times a day. As of

yet, I haven't been able to find a tested commercial tablet of cilantro.

 

It is believed that the active component in cilantro are easily

destroyed during processing. For this reason, I recommend sticking to

fresh herb. It can be eaten raw in soup or salad, on tacos, or as

garnish with practically any dish. Recipe for Cilantro Pesto (Make That

 

" Chelation Pesto " ) I would think it should also work if the cilantro

were juiced, but perhaps the easiest and tastiest way to use the herb

would be as the main ingredient in a home made pesto sauce. You can

start with the basic recipe below and add other nuts and spices to suite

 

your taste.

 

Cilantro Pesto

 

1 clove of garlic

1/2 cupof almonds, cashews, or other nuts 1 cup packed fresh cilantro

leaves

2 tablespoons lemon juice

6 tablespoons olive oil

 

Put the cilantro and olive oil in blender and process until the cilantro

 

is chopped. Add the rest of the ingredients and process to a lumpy past.

 

(You may need to add a touch of hot water and scrape the sides of the

blender.) You can change the consistency by altering the amount of olive

 

oil and lemon juice, but keep the 3:1 ratio of oil to juice. (If freezes

 

well, so you can make several batches at once.)

In light of

the ever-worsening quality of our water and soil and the widespread use

of metals in everyday items like deodorant and cans, I would seriously

suspect that all of us have some toxic metals in our body. And unless

they are carried out by a chelating agent, things like lead, aluminum

and mercury remain in the body forever. Besides associated with

arthritic condition, depression, muscle pain and weakness, memory loss

and deterioration, and maybe even Alzheimer's disease.

Summer's

here and cilantro is readily available across the country. It is very

popular herb in Mexican cooking, and due to their large Mexican

populations is easy to find anywhere from Texas to California. In other

areas, you may need to visit an Oriental market or specialty

supermarket, (Remember, it's also called Chinese parsley.)

I would

highly recommend that you take advantage of this " poor man's chelation

treatment " . I'm in the process of doing it now my shelf and intend to do

 

so at least once or twice a year from now on. All it takes is adding

fresh cilantro to your everyday foods or eating a couple teaspoons of

cilantro pesto a day for two or three weeks; either will give the dose

Dr. Omura used in his research. Judging by the price around here, that

means you'd be spending less than a dollar for two weeks of cleansing!

Of course, if you really don't like cilantro, you can always spend a

thousands times that much on a series of intravenous chelation

treatments...
